Tattoos with the names of your loved ones
A good way to show sincerity of his feelings for a loved one is to make a tattoo with his name. Only people who are truly in love can go for this.
Often both lovers do couples tattoos with each other's names on their arms, sometimes symbols with special meaning for both of them are added to them. In addition, names are used in wedding tattoos as an alternative to traditional wedding rings.
Doing a tattoo with the name of your loved one, it is important to remember one thing - sometimes love passes, but the tattoo remains. And, if you don't want to have to worry about overlapping or removing the name in the future, think twice before getting it on your body.
FROM "NEPOSED" TO "TATUCH."
Lena Katina has been involved in creative work since childhood.
Lena had a lot of talented relatives: her grandmother was an artist, her father was a songwriter for the band Dune and Marina Khlebnikova, and her mother was a pianist. The girl grew up an active child, so she was sent to several sports sections at once. At eight Katina became interested in music and began playing the piano, then took up vocals and sang in the ensemble "Avenue" for three years.
The next step to the artist's career was joining the VIA "Neposedy". Here the young singer faced "hazing": the newcomers were not noticed, the other children did not even say hello to them without any explanation. However, as soon as someone else came into the team, the problem disappeared.
"You immediately became 'old,' everyone switched to the next one. I was replaced by Nastya Zadorozhnaya. But our leaders were Seryozha Lazarev and Yulia Malinovskaya. We correspond with Nastya and communicate at parties. With Lazarev and Vlad Topalov we also often cross paths in our work and always chatting with pleasure", - said Katina.
The producers created a scandalous image for the duo
At 14 Lena left "Neposed", and in less than a year she joined the group that made her an international celebrity. Producer Ivan Shapovalov and composer Alexander Voitinsky were looking for a vocalist for a new musical project and chose Katina out of all applicants. She recorded the tracks "Why Me" and "Yugoslavia", then it was decided to find a second soloist, and with the arrival of Yulia Volkova, the band Tatu was born.
Two girls in short skirts managed to conquer the world due to scandalous concept of love for each other and provocative lyrics: the single "I went crazy" topped the charts in Russia, then it was translated into English and played on radio stations in Europe. It was not an easy success: Lena had to put herself on a strict diet and even stop eating for the music video shooting. Because of a constant feeling of hunger, the singer was in a fainting state, but she reached her goal and lost 10 kilos in two months. Of course, no one warned her that it was bad for her to lose weight that way, and she was crazy about acting in the video.
In 2001, the group released the CD "200 oncoming traffic" and presented new music videos "They won't get us" and "30 minutes". It was time to tour Russia, the Baltics, Germany and Bulgaria. Shapovalov realized more and more that his students had to go international. The soloists diligently studied English and re-recorded Russian-language tracks - I've Lost My Mind, Not Gonna Get Us - and the band's name was slightly changed, becoming t.A.T.u.
The producer's plan was a success: the band performed at the MTV Europe Music Awards, appeared on the popular American show NBC Tonight. At the peak of their fame, the duo traveled to Eurovision, where they took the third place with the song "Don't Believe, Don't Be Afraid, Don't Ask". Certainly, 2003 was the year of t.A.T.u. triumph: their songs topped the charts and their album sales in Japan reached 1,8 million copies, breaking the record of Michael Jackson and Madonna (probably, because of the plaid anime-style skirts).

"Once I came down with a nervous breakdown, and I had to cancel my concert in Anadyr. That was the peak of Tatu's popularity, we had 30 concerts a month," Katina recalled in a conversation with StarHit. - That schedule knocked the ground out from under you, it was hard to come to your senses.
But the next year was frankly difficult. First, during the filming of the show "Tatu" in "Celestial", where they had to show how girls work on the new album, vocalists had a falling-out with Ivan Shapovalov and decided to continue their career without his help. According to experts, without the producer's participation, the band did much worse. Secondly, Julia Volkova got pregnant, so that the group had to put the activity on pause. As a result, the singers released several more joint records, and then announced the breakup of the duo.
